In 1989, Dinkins' winning of more than seventy per cent of the Hispanic vote, along with a third of the Jewish vote (which, by all predictions, may be sharply lower this year, as a result of the controversy over his role in the Crown Heights disturbances), had made the differ- ence for him in the close election. It was now apparent that the theory that blacks and Hispanics-the so-called minorities-could be counted on to vote more or less alike would have to be revised. A poll of Latinos in the city released on May 18th showed that more than eighty-four per cent of them believed that in Dinkins' time at City Hall race relations had been "not so good," and the "quality of life" in the city had deteriorated. Most alarming of all, perhaps, was the word that nearly two-thirds of the Latinos came down on the side of the many Italian-Ameri- can and Irish-American New Yorkers who do not think that public schools should teach tolerance of gays and lesbians, thus opposing one of the policies, supported by the schools chancellor, Joseph Fernandez, and by his champion, the Mayor, that had brought the bitter divisions among members of the Board of Education whose result will be Fernandez' involuntary departure from the school system at the end of this month. Over all, the poll showed that Dinkins' Latino support was down from the seventy per cent of 1989 to forty-three per cent. Sud- denly, Badillo, who, a few days earlier, couldn't even get his phone calls returned, was under siege from both the Giuliani and the Dinkins camps. As a candidate for comptroller (a post for which, with both law and accounting degrees, he has the credentials), he would be the only Latino most Latinos had ever heard of in the running for a citywide office. The news that Badillo might be ! THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 14, 1993 available to run as the Republican nomi- nee for comptroller put a qUIck end to the Stealth candidate's plan to lie low, in favor of launching a revival movement: a fusion ticket. Until a couple of decades ago, when the powers of the clubhouse bosses fell into a decline, candidates for the three citywide offices ran as part of ethnically balanced tickets that were named by the bosses and usually in- cluded an Irish -American, an Italian- American, and a Jew, those being the significant voting blocs of the time. Anyone calling Democratic headquar- ters in 1965, for example, would hear a singsong voice respond with "Beame, O'Connor, Procaccino," the candi- dates-Abraham Beame, Frank O'Con- nor, and Mario Procaccino-for mayor, president of the City Council, and comptroller, respectively. Since then, tickets, balanced or not, have been out of style. Giuliani got to work not only to bring back the balanced ticket (in re- sponse to local demographic changes, it would include the Hispanic Badillo) but to revive the fusion movement, which would also have the advantage of associ- ating his candidacy with the colorful and energetic Fiorello LaGuardia, who in election years is everybody's favorite mayor. Beginning in the early nineteen- thirties, LaGuardia-like Giuliani, a Republican running in a Democratic city (the Democratic margin here is five to one)-not only ran but was elected three times as part of what he called a fusion movement, made up of Republicans, Democrats disillusioned with Tammany Hall, and members of a party of which the present Liberal Party IS a descendant. As Giuliani waited for Badillo to decide which way to go, he stunned the Dinkins forces by making his first move toward a fusion slate. On May 21st, he signed on Susan Alter, a Democratic City Council member from Brooklyn, who is an Or- thodox Jew and is married to a rabbi, to run as part of his ticket for the new job of public advocate. She was one of Dinkins' first important Jewish suppon- ers four years ago, and she won last year even though her district is heavily black. Ms. Alter is known as a fierce cam- paigner Democratic State Assembly-
